2560 x1440 which card do I get?

[Soundood]

OK guys need your help again, although I think the answer is obvious

as above I have a 2560 x 1440 monitor, and have always been on the green team, although I have always run AMD, chip side.

there is two good offers on, here at OCUK and I am think one of these is the answer, I just need to hear it from you guys

first up on offer this week the MSI HD 7970 OC 3072MB

second up is the MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-164-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2294

I would be looking to pair this up with another soon, and they will be fitted with waterblocks,

what you guys think, 3GIG ram benefit for that res?

fire away

MSI 7970 OC all day long, especially as you're planning to fit waterblocks, makes it a no-brainer IMO.

as discussed, im looking to put a block on this, is it reference?

 

[Rusty0611]

It is reference.

As above, 7970 is just faster across all scenarios.

7950 is matching a 670 if you wanted to save some money. Roughly a 5% difference clock for clock .

Yep, reference. Great price and these 7970's are dominating in the 3DMark thread.
